"love this place for happy hour! lively scene, great music, service is never really that attentive but for 2 for $13 martinis you can give a little slack. may sound strange but the fries are my favorite part of the menu! SO amazing! best truffle fries ever! never had a bad meal, but mainly come here for post-work drinks."

"For more than 15 years my wife and I have been looking for an Italian restaurant in the Times Square/Rockefeller Center area that was worth going to. "Pazza Notte" is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in NYC without going to Little Italy. My wife enjoyed her Chicken Parmesan, & I devoured their Lasagna, both obviously made from scratch, both homemade in preparation and in flavor. Our soups were terrific, as were the cannolis w/chocolate chips. Superb! We'll be back!"

"This was a Thursday night about 8:00 and it was so crowded we were very happy to have a reservation (thank you Open Table). The food was good, we both had a pasta dish; and the pizzas looked pretty nice going by. The noise level was so high, however, it precluded any conversation at all, so we did not linger. In fact, as soon as we were seated I was already looking forward to leaving. It may have been quieter in the back. I would go back to sample the pizza, but would ask for a different table."

"It's hard to beat those two for one martinis, and the delicious individual pizzas, that are wonderfully thin crust and superbly seasoned. They missed a "very good" in the service category this time because although I'd made the reservation and even confirmed it, when I first walked in they couldn't find it and said there was no such reservation. Once I insisted and told them they'd even left me a message on my cell phone to confirm it, they located it - and they were nice about it. I had fresh fish, which was excellent."

"Somehow my Open Table reservation was honored by Pazza Notte, Open Table didn't know that I was there on time. Took lots of phone calls to restaurant and Open Table to change that I had been listed by OT as cancelled.

Food is terrific. My table mate says "This will be the restaurant to go to for City Center and Carnegie Hall"."

"Pazza Notte was excellent. My girlfriend and i went there for valentines day and it was exceptional. This place was always crowded so we were always hesitant to try but we made reservations to finally go. Our reservations were for 8:30 and we got there at 8:05 and were seated. The inside is cozy but not tight. The ambience is warm. They have a nice restaurant and a live dj playing music. Not only is it good for dinner but just like a get together with friends. Definitely would reccomend and would go back."

"I was very disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. We had tickets for City Centre and I had a reservation for 4 people for 6:30. The restaurant was very crowded with a large walk-in clientele. 2 of us arrived 15 minutes early and they wouldn't seat us until our entire party arrived. At 6:30, when the remaining 2 members arrived, there was no table for us. The hostess said that she had given our table to walk-in groups as they were there and our entire table was not present at that time. We had to wait another 15 minutes for a table, making it a very rushed meal as we had an 8:00 curtain. The room we were finally seated in was so noisy that we could not even talk to each other"

"Terrible hostess. Asked politely for a corner table so I could catch up with a friend and we were taken to a cramped table. Asked for a booth and was told no. Bare in mind the restaurant was empty. Asked to be moved from the cramped table and the hostess blatently sneered at me, rolled her eyes and begrudgingly moved us. Totally unprofessional. However lunch saved by Betsy our wonderful waitress."
